Hello, I think I may have just responded to you email but in case that wasn’t you: If you are not required to be physically in Canada and your studies are completed entirely outside Canada, a study permit actually cannot be issued for this type of program. The only scenario where you will need a study permit for a distance learning program is if there is a mandatory portion of your program that must be completed in Canada, and the overall course of study is greater than six months. You will then need a study permit for the in-Canada portion of the program, even if the actual in-Canada portion is less than six months.
Please what is the email to reach IRCC ?
I have some important enquiry
As an international student residing in Africa do I need a study Visa to attend a Synchronous online program in Canada ?
